Apple is widely expected to release a comprehensively updates iPhone this year in order to commemorate the revolutionary smartphone's tenth anniversary. The iPhone 8 is arguably the most hotly anticipated device of 2017 and has seen an unprecedented amount of leaks and rumours circulating around the net. Now a new report has confirmed that the new iPhone will be waterproof and come with wireless charging support built in.

According to a new report by Nikkei Asian review, iPhone supplier Wistron has confirmed that the iPhone 8 (or at-least one of the three iPhones expected this year) will be waterproof and feature wireless charging. Wireless charging has been a feature that has been present in competing smartphones from Samsung for quite some time now and has been strongly rumoured to be features in the iPhone 8.

Wistron CEO Robert Hwang said - "Assembly process for the previous generations of [iPhones] have not changed much. Though new features like waterproof and wireless charging now require some different testing, and waterproof function will alter the assembly process a bit".
